It honestly amazes me the lack of responses on this thread... this should be front page and 10 pages deep.

It's really disheartening when I see that almost no one here seems to care or read about monterary policy or Austrian economics. I expected to come here and see this thing booming... 17 posts? Really?!?!!

The potential of this is bigger than anything that's happened since the 2008 collapse. This is truly a watershed moment...

The German Central Bank is essientially telling the US and France... "We Don't Trust You"

This... on top of a fiat foundation based ENTIRELY on TRUST!

When Chavez demanded his gold the price went from 1500 to it's all-time nominal high of 1900...

We're talking Germany now... not Venezuela... the implications to both gold and silver could be magnificent.

And if you buy into the metal's theories on the US suppression of the price and the havoc that would befall the 1.4 quadrillion dollar derivatives market if silver and gold boomed we're talking a potentially EARTH SHATTERING event that may be happening right now.

And of course... not one peep, NOT ONE, from our corporately owned media.

When is the SHTF? I want to know so I can bump this thread when nothing happens.

What is "it"? I want an objective measure for when I bump this.

Let's make sure to follow up on this one also.

Sorry to be a killjoy but every "seriously guys this is it... shit about to go down" thread I've seen since I started posting here has proved false. Need to start bumping them and keeping track.

Certainly has potential to cause a shit storm. I went out and stocked up on popcorn.

"Governor, if I had foreseen the use those people
designed to make of their victory,
there would have been no surrender at
Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me.
Had I foreseen these results of subjugation,
I would have preferred to die at Appomattox
with my brave men, my sword in my right hand." - Robert E. Lee to Governor Fletcher S. Stockdale (D-Texas), 1870

The day I heard the song "Time Keeps on Slipping" and thought it would make a good song for thread music I also heard this one and let it slide. I'm going to post it now. Besides it will bump what many of us think is an important topic.

Like NoOneButPaulsaid, "It honestly amazes me the lack of responses on this thread... this should be front page and 10 pages deep."

We've had some huge topics come up. Many that never seem to make it out in the light of day for most people.

This topic I don't think we've heard the last of. Like Acala said, "Hahahaha! The game of musical chairs is beginning. I wonder what the butt-to-chair ratio will turn out to be? And when will the first public failure to produce the goods occur?"

And another in our face bump.

James Bond 007 Skyfall by Adele [OFFICIAL FULL MUSIC VIDEO]

This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again

For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen

Let the sky fall,
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together

Let the sky fall,
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At Skyfall
At Skyfall

Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark
You may have my number
You can take my name
But you'll never have my heart

Let the sky fall
(Let the sky fall),
When it crumbles
(When it crumbles)
We will stand tall
(We will stand tall)
Face it all together

Let the sky fall
(Let the sky fall),
When it crumbles
(When it crumbles)
We will stand tall
(We will stand tall)
Face it all together
At Skyfall

(Let The Skyfall)
(When it crumbles)
(We will stand tall)
(Let The Skyfall)
(When it crumbles)
(We will stand tall)

Where you go I go
What you see I see
I know I'd never be me
Without the Security of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we'll stand

Let the sky fall
(Let the sky fall),
When it crumbles
(When it crumbles)
We will stand tall
(We will stand tall)
Face it all together

Let the sky fall
(Let the sky fall),
When it crumbles
(When it crumbles)
We will stand tall
(We will stand tall)
Face it all together
At Skyfall

Let the sky fall
We will stand tall
At Skyfall

P.S. I think the world can default, or file bankruptcy if you will, if we all stick together.

Germany has access to it's own "hush money" in the form of the ECB...what they want though, what the German people want, is the real shit...not monopoly money, where some dictator can wake up one day, and decide to devalue the national currency by 50% ala Venezuela, and Belarus, cuz' they've run up an international phone bill that can't be paid...

First, I agree with what you say, but to put a finer point on my post: I recall, the DE's were recipients of lots of FRNs, no?
My post wasnt to suggest that they would be better off with US fiat, or "oy-roes", but to state why I believe that they've never come looking for the gold in the past. What fool would come onto RPF to defend fiat currency?

Everyone is distracted by the EO on gun control and the 2nd Amendment. Do not pay attention while the biggest financial news in 40 years is starting to happen. Once it has happened most people will be WTF???

I posted a good paper on this when it was first panning out waaaay back with zero response. Can't believe it's just now being taken seriously because main stream finally got hold of it. Seems its spun a little though to remove some important elements.

Ireland and The Netherlands are sniffing around for their gold as well by now. Some others too.....

Maybe we'll distract from it with our sudden concern for Syria's Uranium?

Here is a theory floating around zerohedge right now that might shed some light on what is really going on. The NYFed has announced a phased relocation of 300 tonnes of gold from New York to Frankfurt as well as an additional 374 tonnes from Paris to Frankfurt by 2020." Seven years? Why the delay? Germany wants their gold repatriated to home soil. They are also insisting that the French return all German gold (currently 374 tons) held in French reserves, at a rate of 50 tonnes per year until all 374 metric tonnes are received. The French have just commenced military operations in Mali. Mali is Africa's third largest gold producer. Mali, this past year, increased its gold production by just over 50 metric tonnes. Is anyone else seeing the connection here?

Could it be that France does not have Germany's gold? The Bundesbank knows this and has given them a few years to mine it from Mali? Yet the Mali source must be secured, hence the military must make sure the gold flows. It will take them 7 years to mine and refine all that gold from scratch. This would certainly explain our interest in Mali besides the usual insurgent terror smokescreen. It also at least partially explains why the French are, well, not acting French here by actually sending troops somewhere with live ammunition, you know the jokes. In all seriousness, this is an interesting theory, and one worth looking into.

But keep in mind that Germany is placing most of it's "vigor" into ensuring that it's gold is ENTIRELY removed from French vaults and done so expediently.

Germany is slowly managing gold reserve removal from the USA.

France? ALL OF IT NOW SAYS GERMANY.

The Euro is going to fracture in a very polarized way.

I could find the thread with a quick search, but not long ago I stated that of all the black swan possibility, I viewed FRANCE as the most likely to sneak up and bite markets, governments, people, in the ass.
Their bank balance sheets are a frigging zoo. I struggle to come up with a more appropriate description.

Where prior, and for other countries (still), France could then lever it's economy on the back of it's government (tax base).

The government in France is rendering itself, and quickly, insolvent. France is the most bankrupt of the G8 nations. The others are insolvent and printing money to keep the system liquid, but France is the hemorrhage of the G8.

I for one, as a Canadian, want no part in shovelling Frances war shit.

I'm sure many around here feel the same way.

Germany is demanding 13% of it's total gold holding right now and that 13% is 100% of Frances German gold holdings.

Germany is telling the US that it is on STRONG notice (financially) and telling France that they are well past the patient notice stage and saying 'ALL OF IT NOW'.

Gold is set to spike radically and silver is primed for an epic upward price swing.

By mid 2014 (18 months, not long) - the POS and POG will be much higher.

18 months from now (June 30th, 2014);

POS: 300$+
POG: 6000$+

G:S Ratio 1 to 20.

That will not be the end of the gold bull market. Silver will close that ratio further from there. They likely compress in secular bull fasion for another 10 years.

I am a STRONG handed gold bull. I am securlarly bullish on silver in relation to gold.

When Venezuela announced it was going to bring its foreign gold reserves home, the price of gold did little. It had been moving up for a while and peaked one week afer the announcement and fell after that. I don't expect this to spike the price of gold either. When Germany was afraid of a Soviet invasion, they moved most of their gold out of the country. Now they are bringing some of it home. (this is about 20 percent of all German gold reserves- roughly 300 tonnes each from France and the US). And it being done over a long period of time- seven years. Gold $6000? Doubt it.

I work for the Jewish National Democratic Council. They pay me $100,000 a year plus $100 a post. That is why almost all of my posts are on Israel and how great a country it is. Check my post history to verify this. My other goal is to shut down not just this site but the entire internet. I am more powerful than the NSA. I am a former British citizen currently working for MOSSAD. Or maybe it is the KGB/ FSB. I voted for Obama at least seventeen times.

Historians will look back and mark 2001 as the beggining of WW3. I am supremely confident of this.

World War 1 and 2 were not commenced all at once. It was step by step, nation by nation. Just like today. Then one day, the size and scope of the conflict slaps the masses in the face and the naysayers realize their foolish beliefs did nothing to stop it.
